Description

Sketchup + Render[in] + Photoshop

Backgrounds @ NASA photography. No I did not free-hand that nebula.



The top craft... this particular combination of panels and a medium frame gives a very maneuverable, moderately powered and somewhat speedy dogfight craft. It has engines on either end, meaning it can pull off some crazy acrobatic stunts, and four fuel tanks for making sure it doesn't go dead in space after all that dodging around. Two auto-cannons on turrets provide a solid base of firepower which can also be used to knock missiles and torpedoes out of the sky, especially if you've got a wingman manning them. Its main drawback is its limited ammunition capacity, so making sure there's a carrier nearby to rearm and refuel is essential during a prolonged engagement.


The bottom ship... This particular ship is a recon/flank protection/harassment corvette. It's only two frame large, but It mounts four sensor towers for exceptional detection range and target tracking, and 5x Light indirect fire light missile launchers to saturate target defenses. A few of these can decimate a fighter squadron if they manage to hit it from multiple angles and saturate auto cannon defenses. They can even pose a threat to frigates due to their ability to stand off at extreme range and launch missiles on purely ballistic trajectories, which due to their lack of EM signature are difficult to detect until they're right on top of the ship. Their main weakness is their lack of ammunition storage, which is why some navies routinely replace two or even three of the launchers with storage and feeder mechanisms on their vessels in order to allow them to operate more independently.
